BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Long Island Top Guns Lacrosse

The top 2020 YJ was competitive the other 2 teams not so much. It looked like these girls enjoyed themselves and I'm sure most of the will want to play again. This season won't be a waste for the YJ if these girls return and have a little experience under their belts for next season.

the reference was regarding the yj 2020 teams that were a waste of time and most parents of those kids would agree - they had know idea that they would be traveling to play themselves or get humiliated by 2018 and 2019 teams

Curious , how many tournaments did your 2018 TG team win,for that matter how many tournaments did your self proclaimed greatest team ever assembled 2019 team win.Cannot wait to see the connected few get to pick which age they want to play.

Wheres the animosity everyone keeps talking about?

2018? 2019? 12 and 11 year olds right? Don't know exactly about the wins but how does it feel to be known as an obnoxious egotistical parent who concentrates only on winning at all costs for 11 and 12 year olds? The entire lax world sees your club in this light. That must feel great having to make excuses like...that's cause we win and look at our college commit list etc.....no it's because you simply are what everyone says...just listen...from NY to NJ to VA to MD. You are classless.

Funny thing the only people talking about the level of competition of the younger teams in a negative way were your TG parents. To he person going after the younger YJ coaches anytime you feel like comparing bios of your younger TG coaches feel free. I read your youngest teams head coach bio on your website, you could not even make up enough stuff to make it seem they have any business coaching girls lacrosse.

I have seen both these teams play and they are both very good. Best of the age groups? Who knows who cares. I think I heard 2018 only lost a single, close game all year, and the 2019s only lost a hanful. I also follow this thread and the self proclaimed thing actually came from posts from other people saying the 2019 parents think this and that. Now your spinning it to suit your needs. If that's what you need to do to stir the pot, have fun. Don't you have anything better to do today?

Stop with the 2019 would win vs 2018TG, the game would not be very close, the teams have about equal talent for their age and one year is a big difference

Why don't you all shut up with the who beat who crap. Teach yourselves some sportsmanship and class then pass it to your girls. Don't let he YJ posters bring TGs down to their level. They have their own thread for that. IGNORE THEIR POSTS. That's how you get rid of pests! Lol

This is the first time I have been on the BOTC and I am SHOCKED at what I have read! I can not believe this stuff is written by ADULTS! We are supposed to be the mature ones, aren't we?
-Every club has it's positives and negatives no matter where you are
-People knowing people and being "connected" is a part of life, it happens everywhere you go! so deal with it
-We as the parents of these girls choose to have our girls play where they play for a reason - because we feel it's the best place for them to be!
-All of these clubs are businesses and therefore are going to make money- you have a choice if you put your child in travel lacrosse or not. I have yet to find the free one that does it out of the kindness in their hearts!
-So, if your DAUGHTER is happy where she is, if your DAUGHTER has learned something and improved her skills and your DAUGHTER likes the girls she plays with and her coaches then good job mom & dad your daughter is in the right place for HER!!! There is NO need for us as adults to keep bashing other girls and their clubs, regardless of which club they are in.
-There are VERY talented girls on all teams from all clubs let's just be happy for them and celebrate their successes, in an adult way!!
HAPPY LAXING TO ALL THE GIRLS!!!

You aren't going to do well here LOL

May not bother you that kids that are connected get to pick what age and team they play on but when their decision keeps your kid off the better team it is unfair.Yes connected people get favored treatment in most aspects of life but it does not make it right.

Let's be real how many kids on a team of 20-24 are really that connected? Probably 4-5 tops and that still leaves plenty of spots available for other kids! If your kid is talented enough they will make the better team.

Let's use your number of 5 , then 5 kids who should have made the team do not.Playing with better players tends to make you a better player, so the border line top team kids who could use the this opportunity don't get the chance.You had a number of 2020 kids placed on the 2019 top team, a few of them were good enough but most had connections.These kids took the place of several 2019 kids and will now hopefully be placed in their proper age group,Apparently your kid is so good they have no worries or maybe you are one of the connected ones.

We got people whinning and crying and tryouts haven't even been held yet. Wait two weeks and watch how much people come on here and [lacrosse] about unfair this and that, try out fees, politics and on and on. It is what it is and its the same with every club you go, suck it up and deal with it.

You are ABSOLUTELY right about that! Stop complaining and play somewhere else if you're not happy but it is the same at all clubs!!

In the end, all girls end up playing with their age group.

thats false.

thats false.

Are you still talking about 2019? Tell me where girls play up in the upper ages.

Older kids are played up by necessity on weak teams in weak clubs. Strong clubs don't play kids up because they don't have to. If your club's playing kids up, I'd get out.

one caveat, all good clubs that I know of do allow kids to "play-up" on thier youngest age group team.

Really....why does that YJ goalie play up? 2014 team. Amongst others.

That Goalie plays up because daddy is a varsity assistant coach on her high school team, where she has also played varsity since the 7th grade. Though a good goalie, she has more of an advantage because of her father. In any other school she maybe makes varsity as a freshman, but because of her dad and being in such a small district she has taken advantage of a good opportunity as we all would have. Truth be told she doesn't live up to the hype against bigger stronger schools, or in tournament. there are better goalies than her that don't have the same backing or name recognition, but are far better goalies.
